L3 Harris

In a notable development under the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS), Irving Shipbuilding Inc. has entrusted L3Harris with two pivotal contracts. These contracts involve the supply and installation of the Integrated Platform Management System (IPMS) and the Control & Instrumentation system for the new Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) vessels, which will be constructed for the Royal Canadian Navy.

The NSS, a vital initiative, aims to bolster regional economies while advancing Canada’s naval capabilities. Irving Shipbuilding’s ambitious project involves the construction of 15 CSC ships, set to replace the aging Halifax-class frigates. This project, the largest and most intricate shipbuilding endeavor in Canadian history, will see the commencement of the Production Test Module construction this summer.

L3Harris is tasked with designing and delivering the IPMS, a sophisticated system essential for managing the propulsion, power generation, and auxiliary functions of the ships. This system is expected to significantly enhance the performance, reliability, and safety of the CSC vessels, thereby boosting the overall efficiency of Canada’s defence industry.

The  CSC program, spearheaded by Irving Shipbuilding Inc., Lockheed Martin Canada and a consortium of partners, is a beacon of maritime innovation and revitalization within Canada’s shipbuilding sector. With Irving Shipbuilding leading the construction efforts under the National Shipbuilding Strategy (NSS), Lockheed Martin Canada is at the helm of the design team, collaborating with L3Harris to integrate systems in Canada. 

The program marks a significant milestone in Canada’s defence industry, with promising prospects for market expansion and global exports. Initial deliveries for the first three ships of the 15-vessel program are slated to commence in 2027, signalling a bright future for growth and advancement.

Central to L3Harris’ Integrated Communications System is the assurance of reliable and effective communication capabilities for RCN vessels, amplifying maritime safety, operational efficiency and mission success. This emphasizes the pivotal role played by L3Harris in supporting Canada’s maritime interests and national security imperatives.

Kraken Technology Group has signed a collaboration agreement with L3Harris Technologies to advance the integration of control systems within the K40 MANTA prototype.  

The K40 is an uncrewed surface-subsurface (USSV) platform that use foils for rapid surface transit before submerging for clandestine maneuvering.

This high-performance vessel requires well-established control systems and L3Harris possesses the necessary components required for the integration into the K40 MANTA.

According to the partners, these integrated systems will enable the remote control of the uncrewed platform for engineering testing, foil development, powertrain calibration and demonstration before enhancement in later developmental stages.
